How's the sound compare to a Bose Sound dock?

Bose is superior but it depends on where you are using Philips Fidelio. I use it in my office and it sounds great, and the price is very reasonable. I would recommend it.

I have never owned a Bose, so can't really respond to that. However, I can tell you the sound is very good for the price and I would recommend it. I use mine in my bedroom or living room.

the sound quality is low and the battery life is 1 -2 days at the most... i would have gone with the BOSE.

I found this dock had pretty poor audio quality. I'd recommend a higher end dock since they last a while anyways (if they have aux or usb connections) and spending more would make sense in the long term and give higher audio quality.

I don't know about the aptx but I can say that the sound is definitely superior and "open" sounding than the Bose.

I am not sure what sound dock is, but I connect my iphone 5 to it using Bluetooth with no issues. The Bluetooth range is good I keep my iphone in the kitchen and the speaker is two rooms away in my living room.

It will sound better than any dock as long as:1. Your music isn't overly compressed, which most people tend to do because the iPod headphone out is designed for garbage sound (portable ear buds basically) so no sense in wasting iPod storage space with larger files.2. You use the line out on your pod. Headphone connector will not sound good with this setup (or any setup really). Use the line out and the sound will be great though.

I love Bose. I would say Electrohome is not quite the same quality as Bose, but you're also paying less than half the price for it.

I wouldn't even buy it. Had to return mine, worked for a couple of minutes then died. Bose sound dock portable. To their credit the company offered to send me a new one but I declined. Went ahead and bought a sonos system instead.

i was using an old iPhone as an iPod touch and a bose blue tooth speaker and it was decent but not as good. The nomad speaker points at the ceiling and fills the room better, disguises noise better.If the iPod works well for you, then why buy something else. But if you are still being interrupted from noises you might want to try getting a sound machine.

That's why I went with the NAD vs the Bose. The noise guarding on the Bose is great but the NAD just sounded better overall. Much warmer natural sound to my ears.

They are cheaper than Bose, but Bose are better on IPhone. You can make a decision .

Best to go to a Bose store and test both units side-by-side. Bring a CD or DVD that offers excellent sound to compare. On the CD side I usually play a smooth jazz disc which really highlights the mids and highs and play at low volume which really tells the story. On the DVD I play an action flick with considerable surround sound audio so you can see how they compare to a 5.1 system. I think you will find the GS system is worth the extra coin as the mids and highs are very clear while they seem muffled on the regular series II system. Yes both systems seem a bit pricey but unless you really want an exceptional 5.1 or 7.1 audio experience the Bose will provide excellent sound.

It really does not compare. The Bose has a bad sound quality compared to these speaker. The klipsch are bigger, but the pack tremondous range in sound quality. From the lows, mid and highs. Excellent bass also. With the bose, you basically loose the midrange given that they pack small sound system in the tiny speakers for home theater. The bose excell in the highs and are loud. But at the highs you loose clarity, quality and the bose does not compare to the quality of these speakers. The klipsch are the best quality you get get for the money. I bought theses after I returned the theater in a box paclage form bose and costco. It really does not compare. The Bose has a bad sound quality compared to these speaker.

volume is comparable...the sound isn't as rich (little bass) overall, for what want it for, it works great....but a have a bose Bluetooth speaker for serious music listening...this one works great for lower volume background music for work time.

They appear to be similar, but this is probably a question for Bose technical support. See the Bose website.

No, this dock only has volume adjustments for its well balanced sound. You might be able to adjust the EQ on your device. Otherwise, maybe consider a larger speaker dock or one from a company known for bass heavy sound, like Beats.

Yes. This unit has amazing sound. Best value in the category IMO, so much better sound than the Bose ... and more top-end volume, too.
